Abstract

[The author addresses here the history of Michelin (with its inventions, its development and its paternalistic system) and its impact on the city of Clermont-Ferrand in order to understand the context in which the company was set up and developed economically, demographically, spatially and culturally, generating an industrial myth supporting a specific company spirit. In other words, Corine Vedrine introduces the history that inspired the mythical narratives presented in the next chapter. The whole exercise soon faces the delicate question of entanglement of history, memory and myth. They feed each other and the narrative of one and the same story will shape at times an historic episode, at other times a memory and sometimes a mythical story.]
